by Koki Shiono
Here in Japan, we’re very keen on sports. In fact, we even have a national
holiday to celebrate our love of sports! It’s called Health and Sports Day and
it takes place every year on the second Monday in October. Japanese people
have been celebrating this day since 1966. On Health and Sports Day, most schools
hold their annual Field Day. It’s like a mini Olympics! Students compete in teams
and take part in a huge variety of events.
I’ve always enjoyed Field Day at my school, and this year was no different! The day
began with a parade of all the teams. Then, all of the competitors spread out across a
field for group stretching.
During the day, we competed in many traditional track and field events like the 100-metre
sprint and the long jump, but we played some unique Japanese games, too! For
example, in tama-ire large teams have 2-3 minutes to throw as many small
beanbags as possible into a basket at the top of a tall pole! And in o-tama
korogashi teams of two have to roll a giant ball through an obstacle course!
Health and Sports Day isn’t just for kids. It encourages people
of all ages to be active! Actually, there were some special
events for parents at my school, too! My dad didn’t
compete because he had a headache, but I think that was
just an excuse! Anyway, the whole day was a lot of fun. I
can’t wait for next year!

Yes, I do. After school, I take a break,
then I do my homework. I usually stop

Every day, my parents give me some
money for a snack. If I want to buy a
CD, or something like that, I have to
ask them for extra money.
What do you do in your free time?
I mostly play football and volleyball.
This Saturday, I’m playing for my

Nothing really serious. Sometimes we
argue about me playing computer

complaining about me drinking cola.

I’ve got a really nice family and a lot
of good friends. The only problem is
my parents think I’m still a baby.

Gotham City
Gotham isn’t a real
city, but everyone
knows about it because it
is the home of Batman.
Gotham is on a big island, but
people can easily travel there by car,
bus, train, boat or plane. There are a lot of
tall skyscrapers and older stone buildings in the
city, too. Gotham is a huge city, with a population of
over 8 million people. There are many neighbourhoods in
Gotham, but the most famous is The Narrows. It is on an island
in the Gotham River. There are a lot of strange people there, and the streets are dark and dangerous. In fact, the whole city of
Gotham is quite dangerous. Luckily, Batman is there to make sure the people of Gotham can sleep safely in their beds.

Hobbiton
Hobbiton is not a real village; it’s from the
books The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by
J.R.R. Tolkien. In Hobbiton, there are lots of
green fields and beautiful forests. All the
houses in the village are under the ground and
have round doors and windows. The people
from Hobbiton – hobbits – are very friendly and
kind. The hobbits grow their own food and keep
animals in their gardens. Hobbiton looks a lot
like England in the 18th century. There are
paths instead of roads and there are no cars or
buses. Some hobbits ride little horses or use
them to pull wooden carts, but most people
travel on foot. All the hobbits in Hobbiton live
very quiet lives. That is, until the wizard Gandalf
arrives, and then their adventures begin!

Hi readers,
I’m back! I know my last entry was
over a month ago, but I’ve got a
good reason. Let me tell you all
about it.
I don’t live in Utrecht now; we’ve got
a new house in Haarzuilens. It’s a
village in the Netherlands. There
aren’t many people here. In fact, it has
a population of just 224! They say that it is one of
the quietest villages in The Netherlands. I can
believe it! There isn’t a lot to do, but it is very
beautiful. I love going for long walks in the woods
near my house. It makes such a change to be able
to breathe fresh air! Also, there’s no heavy traffic
here. In fact, the only sounds come from the
cows and sheep in the fields. There’s a castle
nearby that’s the biggest in the country. There are
some great views of the countryside from the top.
I really like living here. Why don’t you leave a
comment below and say what the place you live
in is like? Bye for now!

A turned them into beautiful angels B gave them a place to live
C sent them to see the Cloud Shepherds

3. What did the Cloud Shepherds eat?

4. What stopped the Cloud Shepherds from coming near villages?
A the sound of bells B tall towers C lightning
3 Ask and answer questions based on the text, as in the example.
A: Who gave the Cloud Shepherds a home? B: The Good side.
Long ago, there was a competition between Good and Evil. The Good side
created three beautiful angels, but the Evil side made a group of strange
spirits. The Good side felt sorry for the spirits, however, and gave them a
home in the sky. They became the Płanetnicy or ‘Cloud Shepherds’.
The Cloud Shepherds were often kind to the people on Earth. They sent rain
to help their crops grow and blew the clouds away to let the sun shine. They
even visited people’s houses sometimes. They always appeared as tall, old
men with wet clothes, even on a dry day. It was very important to be polite
to a Cloud Shepherd when he appeared on your doorstep: they became
angry easily, and angry Cloud Shepherds were very dangerous! They could
send storms, snow and ice to destroy the crops, strong winds to damage
houses, and thick fog to make travellers lose their way.
The Cloud Shepherds ate smoke instead of food, so they often started fires by
throwing lightning down from the sky to Earth. Some Polish villagers built
tall towers with bells in them and rang the bells to keep the Cloud Shepherds
away. Even today, you can still see these towers in parts of Poland, such as
the village of Koniówka. Few people believe in Cloud Shepherds these days, myth but the villagers there still call their bell ‘The Lightning Breaker.’ (n) = a

Jamie’s story
It was 13th November, 2016, and my parents and I were on holiday in Kaikoura, New
Zealand. We spent the first day there sightseeing. When I got back to my room, I was really
tired and went to bed early. I had no idea that my first night in Kaikoura was also my last!
Just after midnight, a loud noise woke me up. My room was shaking. It was an earthquake!
My mum and dad rushed into my room and we all ran out of the hotel. Lots of people were
already outside. As we were standing there, we felt aftershocks – smaller earthquakes that
come after the big one. I was so scared!
After a while, the emergency services arrived. All the roads and bridges were closed. There
was no way out of Kaikoura! Luckily, helicopters were on their way to get everyone to
safety. We made our way to a school field where a helicopter was waiting. We climbed in and
took off.
As we were flying away, I saw the destruction below. The roads had huge cracks in them.
Later, we found out that there was also a tsunami. What a holiday! We left New Zealand
early in the morning and flew back to England. I feel so lucky that we lived to tell the tale.

The Roman Empire was huge. At its greatest, it covered
over one million square miles. Controlling such a large
area meant that its armies needed to get around quickly.
So, the Romans built strong roads. They realised that the
shortest route between two points is a straight line, so
wherever possible, they built their roads like this. In 200
AD, the Romans had over 50,000 miles of road and
many of these still exist today.
We can still see the accomplishments of ancient Rome
today when we visit the city and see its monuments. These
2,000-year-old buildings are still standing because
ancient Romans built them with Roman concrete.
They first started using this material over
2,100 years ago. The concrete they used
back then was a mix of lime and
volcanic ash. One of its advantages
was that it dried very quickly, so they
even used it to build under water.

The ancient Romans called Rome the ‘Eternal City’. They thought that the Roman Empire and its achievements would last forever.
In the late 4th century, the empire fell, but today we can still admire the amazing achievements of this important civilisation.

It was a summer afternoon in 1996. Peter and Belinda
Garfoot were on a driving holiday in Australia when
they stopped at the side of a quiet road to take a break.
Then, Peter saw something strange in the mirror – a
huge creature, around 2 metres tall, with long arms and
a hairy body, was walking upright across the road. They
both turned around and watched for around 10
seconds before it disappeared into the forest. They were
sure it was the Yowie.
The Yowie is a huge ape-like creature that some people
think lives in the Australian countryside. The Aborigines,
the original people of Australia, started telling stories
about the Yowie hundreds of years ago. Every so often,
there is a new sighting of this strange creature. Most
scientists, though, say there is no evidence which proves
that the Yowie exists. The Garfoots, for example, didn’t
manage to take photos or record a video of the creature
they saw.
So, who knows what we should believe? Was the
creature they saw actually a person dressed up in an ape
costume? Was it just a large dog or fox which was
walking strangely? Whatever the truth, the mystery of
the Yowie carries on in Australia to this day.
1. The Garfoots saw a creature
A behind their car. B next to their car.
C in front of their car.
2. The Aborigines
A don’t believe that the Yowie exists.
B have a long history with the Yowie.
C live in the countryside.
3. The Garfoots
A took photographs of the creature.
B have video evidence of the creature.
C don’t have any proof that they saw the
Yowie.

ESCAPE ROOMS
A tall man with a beard brought us into a room. As he was leaving, he said, “Get out of this room in 60 minutes
– or you lose!” Then the door closed.
Hi everyone! Tom here. Don’t worry – we weren’t in danger. I’m talking about an escape room! My friends and
I went to one at the weekend, and we had an amazing time! Escape rooms are like computer games in real life.
You can only find the exit after you have solved all the puzzles, and you have to solve them before your time
runs out!
Our room looked exactly like a Pharaoh’s tomb. We were very excited, but at first, we didn’t know what to do!
Daniel was shaking all the pots while I was tapping the walls, looking for a hidden door. We had some
arguments and made the room kind of a mess, but finally, Gemma found the clue that helped us do
the first puzzle, and after that we got the hang of it. Just as the clock was counting down
towards zero, we solved the last one and the exit door opened. Phew! What a relief!
It was our first time in an escape room, so we all felt really happy that we managed to do it.
Now, we’re hooked! Gemma has already booked for us to go again on her birthday next
week, and try a different escape room!

Health and Sports Day
Do you find
this event
interesting?
Why? Why
not?
by Koki Shiono
Here in Japan, we’re very keen on sports. In fact, we even have a national
holiday to celebrate our love of sports! It’s called Health and Sports Day and
it takes place every year on the second Monday in October. Japanese people
have been celebrating this day since 1966. On Health and Sports Day, most schools
hold their annual Field Day. It’s like a mini Olympics! Students compete in teams
and take part in a huge variety of events.
I’ve always enjoyed Field Day at my school, and this year was no different! The day
began with a parade of all the teams. Then, all of the competitors spread out across a
field for group stretching.
During the day, we competed in many traditional track and field events like the 100-metre
sprint and the long jump, but we played some unique Japanese games, too! For
example, in tama-ire large teams have 2-3 minutes to throw as many small
beanbags as possible into a basket at the top of a tall pole! And in o-tama
korogashi teams of two have to roll a giant ball through an obstacle course!
Health and Sports Day isn’t just for kids. It encourages people
of all ages to be active! Actually, there were some special
events for parents at my school, too! My dad didn’t
compete because he had a headache, but I think that was
just an excuse! Anyway, the whole day was a lot of fun. I
can’t wait for next year!

Germs are tiny living things. They are so small that we can't see them – but they are
everywhere!
What do they do?
Like every living thing, germs need to stay alive. They can only do that by getting into
plants, animals or people. Some germs are good for our bodies. For example, they
help us use all the nutrients in the food we eat. Other germs can make us ill.
Wash your hands
How
– use warm water and soap
– rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds
– don’t forget to wash the backs of your hands, under your nails and between your fingers
– rinse your hands with warm water
Germs are everywhere, but there's no need to be afraid of them. As long as you follow
this advice, you can stay clean and healthy!
What are they?

School Sports Day in the UK
In the UK, the school year begins in September and ends in
July. In June, there is a school Sports Day and all the students
take part. On this day, they leave their school uniforms at home
and wear their PE kits instead – usually a T-shirt and shorts in
the school colours – and trainers on their feet.
In British schools, teachers often divide the students into 'houses'.
Students can win points for their house with good homework,
schoolwork and, of course, by winning competitions on Sports
Day. There are traditional competitions, such as the running races,
jumping and throwing events that you can see at the Olympic
Games. There are also team sports like netball and basketball. But
it's not all about winning – it's also about having fun. There are
silly competitions, like the three-legged race (where students run
in pairs with two of their legs tied together) and the sack race
(where they hop along with their legs inside a big bag). There is
also usually a competition with water – so everyone gets wet.
Sports Day is an important day in British schools. There aren't
any lessons, but there is still a lot to learn about teamwork and
what being a winner really means.
1. In the UK, Sports Day is on the last day of
the school year.
2. Students don't wear school uniforms on
Sports Day.
3. They can't win points for their house on
Sports Day.
4. These days, traditional competitions aren't
part of school Sports Days.
5. Sports Day also includes funny races.

Check these words
BB-8 and R2-D2 are very
similar. Both of them are brave astromech
droids. BB-8 looks a bit different, though,
because he is round. He can do the same
things that R2 can, but his shape means he can
roll around quickly. This is very useful for BB-8
because he often has to get out of trouble fast!
C-3PO,
or Threepio to his friends, is
a protocol droid. This type of droid tells
others how they should behave when they
meet aliens from different planets. Threepio
can also speak over 7 million different
languages. People sometimes get angry with
him because he talks a lot. It’s not his fault,
though – they programmed him that way!
When we think of droids, one film series comes
to mind – George Lucas’ Star Wars! Let’s take a
closer look at what these robots can do.
at Work
R2-D2 is C-3P0’s best friend. R2-D2 is an
astromech droid. He works on spaceships as a
mechanic. He mostly repairs things, but he is
also able to cut things with a saw, project
holograms and put out fires. He sometimes flies
with pilots when they go on dangerous
missions. He’s small, but he's really
brave.
droid (n) = a
robot in sciencefiction films, books,
etc that behaves
like a human
Reading
1 Listen to the music and look at the pictures. What images come
to your mind?
2 Read the dictionary definition. What different types of droids are
there? Listen and read to find out.
3 Read again and for questions 1-3 choose the correct answer (A, B or C).
Write in your notebook.
1. What does a protocol droid do?
A gives others advice B teaches alien languages
C programmes other droids
2. An astromech droid
A often breaks things. B isn’t allowed in space.
C makes things work again.
3. What makes BB-8 different to R2-D2?
A his job B his shape C his character
Prepositions
4 Choose the correct preposition. Write in your notebook.
1. What comes in/to mind when you listen to this piece of music?
2. People often get angry of/with him because he talks a lot.
3. Astromech droids work on/at spaceships.

he never gets dizzy! The thing I like best about him is that he never gives
up. Sonic's always ready to try again and run even faster next time.

Hey, everyone! It’s my birthday today and my parents
bought me the latest role-playing game. It features my
favourite video game character. His name’s Link and he
looks like an elf. In the game, a princess is in danger, so Link
takes over to rescue her. Along the way, he fights monsters
and collects magic items. Link doesn't talk a lot or have special
powers, but I think he’s great because he’s clever and brave.
Tell me about your favourite video game character.

There are lots of evil robots in films, but there are plenty of good
ones, too. We asked our readers to choose their favourite, and
the winner was the bravest, kindest, and probably the smallest,
robot on film: WALL-E.
WALL-E is the main character in the 2008 animated film of the
same name. He's got a square body, long arms and two big
eyes. He's yellow, but he's very dirty because his job is
collecting rubbish. In fact, when the film begins, he's already
done that job for 700 years! All the people have left Earth and all
of the other robots have stopped working, so WALL-E is alone.
After so many years, he starts feeling and thinking. He makes
friends with a cockroach, collects interesting things and
discovers he likes watching old films. But
WALL-E is lonely – until he meets EVE,
another robot sent to Earth to look
for signs of life. WALL-E
likes EVE so much that
he follows her back
across the galaxy and
ends up on a mission to
save the human race!
1. WALL-E is certainly the smallest robot in
films.
2. WALL-E was the most popular animated
film of 2008.
3. WALL-E is a very old robot.
4. He has thoughts and feelings.
5. EVE comes to Earth to look for WALL-E.

Blog entry
Hi everyone! I’ve got exciting news! Today, my school received a Green Flag! We got it
from Eco-Schools, an international organisation that gives Green Flags to eco-friendly
schools. We got ours because we’ve got lots of recycling bins in the school corridors
and all the classrooms have got energy-saving bulbs. Also, every Friday is ‘Travel
Smart Day’, so all the students and teachers walk or ride their bikes to school instead
of coming by car.
We’re very proud of our Green Flag. Our head teacher is going to put it outside our
school for everyone to see. Does anyone else go to an Eco-School?
Comment by Ricky_ PAISLEY, SCOTLAND, 13
Hi Lauren! Congratulations! This year, we are going to try and get a Green Flag for
our school. I think we’ll get one because we’re planning lots of eco-friendly
activities. We’re going to use food waste from the canteen to make compost. Then,
we’re going to use the compost to grow organic vegetables in our greenhouse. We
also want to collect rainwater in buckets to water our vegetables. As our head
teacher says, “Every little helps!” Monday 14/05 19:13

Hi Laura!
We’re also going to go up the river in kayaks and take part in the ‘repeat
photography’ project. Every year, volunteers take photos from the same spots
around the park. This year, my group is going to take some of the pictures. Then,
experts can use them to spot environmental problems and protect the park.
Guess where I am! I’m in Groveland, a small town just outside Yosemite National Park.
Tomorrow, I’m joining a volunteer group in the park and I can’t wait!
I think I’ll have an amazing time in Yosemite! What are you going to do this summer?
We’re going to sleep in tents on the bank of the Merced River. In the daytime, our
jobs will probably include picking up litter and repairing paths in the park. It’s
important that we look after our environment. I expect we’ll have chores to do at the
campsite, too, like doing the washing-up and helping in the kitchen. But I don’t mind –
it’s going to be fun living in the forest! I’m sure I’ll see some interesting wild animals,
but I hope Yosemite’s famous black bears won’t come too close!
Write back,
Wendy

Hi Steve! I've just got back from an island in the Caribbean
called Hispaniola. Never heard of it? Perhaps you've heard of the
Dominican Republic or Haiti then? These two countries share the
island of Hispaniola. I was staying in the Dominican Republic in
Jaragua National Park. What a great place!
There are 16 national parks and protected areas in the
Dominican Republic. It's the perfect place for eco-tourists like me.
The Jaragua National Park is not as popular as some of the other
national parks, but that's OK – I prefer quieter places. Jaragua is
on the coast, so part of the park is on land and part of it is in the
sea. It also has some amazing caves with cave paintings.
While I was there, I saw a rhinoceros iguana. I love reptiles and I
knew all about this endangered species. I tried to take a photo of
it, but I dropped my camera as I was taking it out of my
backpack. The iguana heard the noise and quickly hid in the
rocks. At least I got to see one before I left! Next time I go, I'll be
more careful.

Cosmo World Yokohama, Japan
Cosmo World is a huge amusement park in Yokohama,
Japan. With its 32 fun attractions it promises a great day out.
What makes this place unique is Vanish, an amazing roller
coaster. Its track measures 2,440 feet in length. That means
each ride lasts about 2 minutes. Why does it have this
name? Well, this is the only roller coaster in the world
where you vanish into an underwater tunnel! When
you approach the tunnel, you feel like you are
going to crash into a pool of water! It’s very
scary … and very wet!
You can find roller coasters in most amusement parks around the world – but
some are more extreme than others!
Ferrari World
Abu Dhabi, UAE
If you have a need for speed, you’ll love Ferrari
World in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This amusement park
celebrates the world of motor racing. It includes
the fastest roller coaster in the world – the
Formula Rossa. This roller coaster goes up to 240
kilometres per hour and has lots of bends, so you
feel like you are in a Formula 1 race!
Actually, you go so fast that you have to
put on safety glasses to protect your
eyes. Are you brave enough to
ride it?

• When the subjects are connected with and, they take a verb in the
plural form. Sue, Mary and Paula are going to the cinema now.
• both … and means not only one, but also the other. We do not use
both in negative structures. They are followed by a plural verb. We can
use both + noun/action + and + noun/action.
Both Julian and Kate have got smartphones.

word and takes an affirmative singular or plural verb depending on the
subject that follows nor. Neither Paul nor John likes fish. (= Both Paul and
John don’t like fish.) Neither Mr Harris nor his brothers have got a car.
• either … or means this one or the other one. It expresses a choice

There are adverbs of manner (how) (Tom speaks fast.), time (when) (Fay
left yesterday.), place (where) (Amy is here.), frequency (how often)
(Kate is always early.) and degree (how much) (Fran is very intelligent.)
We usually form adverbs by adding -ly/-ily to the adjective.
quick – quickly, happy – happily
Irregular forms:
good – well, fast – fast, hard – hard, early – early, late – late

Question tags
Question tags are short questions at the end of a sentence. We form
them with the auxiliary or the modal verb from the main sentence and
the appropriate subject pronoun. She is at the hotel, isn’t she?
• A positive statement takes a negative question tag.
We can go now, can’t we?
• A negative statement takes a positive question tag.
You won’t forget, will you?
Note: Some verbs form their question tag differently:
I am ➝ aren’t I? I’m good at tennis, aren’t I? BUT: I’m not late, am I?
Let’s ➝ shall we? Let’s go to the theatre, shall we?
I have got (= I possess) ➝ haven’t I? He has got the tickets, hasn’t he?
I have (other meanings) ➝ don’t I? We had a great time, didn’t we?
(= We enjoyed ourselves.)
This/That is ➝ isn’t it? That’s our bus, isn’t it?
INTONATION: He is at the post office, isn’t he? (asking for information)
She didn’t come, did she? (asking for confirmation)

animals, but we employ
over 1,300 actors,
singers, dancers, athletes,
clowns and acrobats to
give our audience the
experience of a lifetime!When you look at the stage,
you feel like you've entered another world. The
dramatic music, colourful make-up and strange
costumes all add extra excitement to a show that's
already full of daring and dangerous tricks!
The first Cirque shows began in Canada in 1984. Our
company soon travelled to the USA and then Europe,
Asia and the Middle East. Cirque du Soleil has now
performed in 400 cities to over 160 million people!
Generally, everyone is welcome at our shows. Children
under two are free, but they have to sit on their mum
or dad's lap at all times. Children under 12 must be
with an adult.

1 Who was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? Which famous character did

2 What is The Hound of Baskervilles about? What type of story is it?
Read the plot to find out.
Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle (22nd May
1859 – 7th July
1930) was born in
Edinburgh,
Scotland, and studied Medicine at
Edinburgh University. He wrote many
famous books, such as the classic
adventure The Lost World, but he is
most famous for his Sherlock Holmes
stories.
Sherlock Holmes is a famous detective
who solves crimes with the help of his
friend, Dr Watson. One of his most
famous stories is The Hound of the
Baskervilles.
A dense, white fog hung over the moor and it was drifting slowly in our direction. Holmes
was watching it.
“It’s moving towards us, Watson,” he said impatiently.
“Is that serious?” I asked.
“Very serious, indeed. It’s the one thing that could ruin my plans. Our success and even Sir
Henry's life may depend on his coming out of the house before the fog is over the path. In half
an hour we won’t be able to see our hands in front of us.”
“Shall we move to higher ground?”
“Yes, I think it would be best,” replied Holmes.
So we moved back until we were about half a mile from the house. Suddenly, the sound of quick
steps broke the silence of the moor. Through the fog came Sir Henry. He walked by quite close
to us, but he didn’t see us. Then, we heard another sound coming from the white bank of fog.
“Look out!” cried Holmes. “It’s coming!”
We stared into the fog, uncertain what horror was about to break from the heart of it. Then, a
dreadful shape sprung out from the shadows. It was an enormous coal-black hound. Fire
burst from its open mouth and its eyes were burning in the darkness. With long bounds the
huge creature was leaping down the track, following our friend. Far away on the path we saw
Sir Henry looking back, his face white in the moonlight, his hands raised in horror, staring
helplessly at the thing which was chasing him.
Baskerville Hall is a huge manor house on the moor. Legend says that
hundreds of years ago, an enormous hound with eyes of fire killed Sir Hugo
Baskerville. Now, the hound is back! After it kills Sir Charles, the owner of
Baskerville Hall, everyone fears that his nephew, Sir Henry, is also in danger.
They ask Sherlock Holmes and his friend, Dr Watson, to solve the mystery.
Holmes and Watson don't believe in the legend and they suspect a man called
Stapleton is responsible. So when Sir Henry goes to Stapleton’s house for
dinner, they stand guard outside.

Weena quickly became my friend. We walked
together through the valley and I saw splendid
buildings and beautiful trees covered in blossom. Birds
were singing in the trees. Everywhere there were sweetsmelling flowers. Weena picked one and gave it to me.
One evening, as we walked through the garden together,
I saw a creature run across the grass and vanish down a
well. It looked like a white ape with strange greyish-red
eyes.
“What was that?” I asked Weena.
“A Morlock,” she replied. “They live underground.”
She seemed frightened and did not want to talk about
the strange creatures. I realised then that the future world
was not as perfect as it seemed. I decided to go
underground and find out about the Morlocks.
“Don’t go down there! Please!” Weena cried.
“Don’t worry, Weena. I won’t be long,” I replied.
I began to climb down a small, dark well. After a while, I
stopped to rest. Suddenly, a cold hand touched my face.
I lit a match and saw three Morlocks running away down
a dark passage. They were afraid of the light. I followed
them into the large underground chamber. I could
hear machines, and I could smell meat. When the
Morlocks realised I was there, they began to move
towards me. I was scared. I ran back down the passage
and climbed up to the garden. I could hear the Morlocks
close behind me.
“Why are they chasing me?” I asked Weena.
“On dark nights, the Morlocks come to the surface to
hunt,” she answered.
“But what do they hunt?” I asked. “There are no
animals here.”
“They hunt the Eloi,” she whispered.
We had to find somewhere to hide. As we walked,
Weena told me more about the Eloi and the Morlocks.
A long time ago, the Eloi were powerful and forced the
Morlocks to live underground. The Morlocks worked
and the Eloi played. But the Morlocks got used to the
dark and began to hate the daylight.
Now the Morlocks had the power, and the
Eloi were afraid of them.

1 Present an ideal neighbourhood
116 one hundred and sixteen
Beginnings – Endings
1 Read the beginnings. Which starts with: a rhetorical question? setting the
scene? a poem? Which one seems irrelevant to the topic?
Have you ever thought about what your ideal
neighbourhood would look like? I do it all the time!
Picture yourself on a quiet street filled with
houses with large gardens. There are lots of trees
on both sides of the road and each person greets
you as you pass by. This is my idea of the perfect
neighbourhood.
My house is big and white,
It’s at the end of my street.
Everyone who comes inside,
Is a friend I love to meet!
2 Read the endings. Which contains: a rhetorical question? humour?
a statement? Which one seems irrelevant to the topic?
You can learn a lot by moving to a
different neighbourhood.
Wouldn’t you like to live in my ideal
neighbourhood? I know I would!
They say you should love your neighbour,
and if I lived in my ideal neighbourhood, this
is definitely what I would do!
You can start/end your
presentation with a
rhetorical question (a
question that expects
no answer), to grab the
audience’s attention. 1

Evaluating historical sources
1 Read the extracts. Which is from: an encyclopaedia? a personal letter?
a newspaper article?
When you research
information online,
make sure you use
valid sources
(encyclopaedias,
diaries,
documentaries,
etc). Crosscheck
information. Some
documents include
the writer’s
opinion, so make
sure you only
select the facts.
This way, your
presentation will
be accurate and
objective.
In a wonderful display of
courage and ability, Amelia
Earhart flew solo across the
Atlantic Ocean yesterday.
She set off from Harbour
Grace in Newfoundland,
Canada and arrived in
Culmore, Northern Ireland,
in just 20 hours and 40
minutes.
I don’t think that Amelia should
try to fly solo across the Atlantic
Ocean. It’s my opinion that the
aeroplane she wants to use is
too small. It’s far too dangerous
for her to attempt this
challenge.
She made a solo flight across the Atlantic
Ocean in 1932. She became the first female
pilot to do so and she completed the flight
in just under 15 hours.

speaker’s opinion?
Preparing & Presenting
4 Use your answers in Exs 1-3 to prepare your presentation about
Amelia Earhart. Make notes in your notebook under the headings:
name
date/place of birth
achievement
date/place of death
5 Use your notes to give your presentation.
When you include
your opinion in your
presentation, always
give reasons to
justify it.
Amelia Earhart should be
considered the most
important woman of the
20th century.
Amelia Earhart was a strong, powerful
woman who set record after record. She
believed that what is important in life is to set
goals and she managed to achieve hers
against all odds.
Earhart was a woman who
changed the lives of women in
the 20th century in a lot of
different ways.
Earhart became a powerful symbol for women’s rights.
She set high standards for women to follow and inspired
generations of women, becoming an excellent role model.

Selecting quotations/proverbs
1 Which of the following beginnings uses a quotation/proverb related to
a healthy lifestyle? Decide in pairs.
Linking ideas
2 Choose the correct linking words. Write in your notebook.
Every year on World Health Day, I think of the proverb that goes: “Give
a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to fish and you
feed him for life.”
Every year on World Health Day, I think of this proverb: “He who
has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.”

2
Use short catchy
quotations/proverbs
that are relevant to
the topic to start/end
your presentation.
Here are some things you should avoid in
order to stay healthy. 1) First/As a result,
you shouldn’t eat too much processed food
or too many sweets. These foods have large
amounts of sugar, fat or salt.
2) However/Also, you shouldn’t eat when you
are not hungry to avoid putting on extra
weight. 3) Finally/Then, mental health is
important, too. 4) Furthermore/This means
that you should try to have mostly positive
thoughts 5) as/so this can prevent stress.
Link your ideas with
appropriate linking
words e.g. first, then,
next, also, this means
that, because, as a
result, etc. This helps
the audience follow
your presentation.
3 Present a healthy lifestyle

Recapping main ideas
3 Read the extract. List the phrases that recap the main points of the
presentation in your notebook.
While you develop your
presentation, recap
main points. This helps
the audience follow
your presentation.
Now that we talked about what you should do to stay healthy, I’m
going to mention a few things you shouldn’t do. I’ve already
mentioned that you need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but what
foods are not appropriate? First, it’s best to avoid sweets, because
they are full of sugar. Also, as I told you earlier, exercising regularly
is important, so don’t spend all your free time sitting on a chair
playing video games or chatting online.
Preparing & Presenting
4 Use your ideas from Exs 1-3 to prepare your presentation about how to
lead a healthy lifestyle.

Using a hook statement
1 Read the two beginnings from presentations about an invention. Which
one uses a hook statement? What technique is used in the other
beginning?
Do you like gadgets? Do you like technology? Can you think of
something that has changed our world? How would you feel if today
we didn't have TVs?
Do you have a 40’ inch wide-screen TV at home? Would you like to
have one? Today, everybody dreams of a nice big TV in their living
rooms, but a few years ago there was no such thing.

You can start your
presentation with a
hook statement, e.g.
a question, a story, a
statement etc that
leads the audience
directly to the topic of
your presentation.
Remember, people will
listen to or pay
attention only to what
they care about.

words or phrases, not
your entire
presentation, on each
slide. Be confident and
well-prepared. Don’t
just read your notes
aloud. You can quickly
look at them to
remember what you
want to say next.
A The start of the Internet can be traced
back to the year 1969, when the
Advanced Research Projects Agency of the

presentation?
2 Think of your favourite film
character. Prepare a beginning.

series of statements
about the character or
asking questions about
the character.
Who is always well dressed and
always behaves like a gentleman? Whose
accent is typically British, though he speaks at

So put your hand in mine.

We gather round the table to talk and eat our dinner.
And when to bed I finally go, I know my life’s a winner.

ecosystem: an
environment where
living and nonliving elements
have connections
with each other
and work together
Most people grow up in families, live together in cities
and towns and work together in communities. They have
their routines and habits and they each other for
their survival. Plants and animals live in communities, too.
They live together in places where they have the kind of
weather, soil and food that they need.
These communities are ecosystems. In an ecosystem
there are living parts such as plants, animals, microorganisms, fungi and bacteria. There are also non-living
parts such as rock, water, air, heat and light.
An ecosystem works like an imaginary web in which
all the living and non-living parts have connections with
each other. The connections are countless. Different parts
in many different ways. Grass uses sunlight to
produce energy. A bird weaves grass into its nest. A
rabbit may use long grass to hide in while grasshoppers
grass.
If a part of an ecosystem disappears or changes, then the
whole ecosystem goes through a change. This change may be
large or small, positive or negative. Unfortunately, we often do
things that ecosystems. When we cut down trees in a
forest, we affect the life of everything that lives there. It is
important to the delicate balance between the
parts in an ecosystem.

4. The main role of the dead leaves is to …
Autumn may be the beginning of a new school
year for you, but for the leaves on some trees it
means the end of their short lives. The days are
shorter, cooler and wetter and the leaves start
turning yellow, orange, brown and red.
Trees and other green plants get the energy
they need to make food from the sun. A special
substance in leaves called chlorophyll1 collects
this energy. The leaves then use the energy to turn
water and carbon dioxide into sugar.
Chlorophyll cannot use the green light in
sunlight. Leaves reflect this light and that is why
they look green in summer. Because there is less
sunlight in autumn, the leaves cannot produce all
the food a tree needs to keep growing. The tree
stops giving water to the leaves and the
chlorophyll begins to change. As a result, we start
to see the leaves turn different colours, creating a
beautiful festival of colour in the forests.
When the leaves die, they fall to the ground.
But even after they fall, the leaves have a role to
play. The dead leaves form a blanket on the
ground around the foot of the tree. This protects
the roots of the tree from the cold. When the
leaves begin to rot, they feed the roots of the tree.
Finally, when winter arrives, the trees become
dormant. This means they stop growing
completely and live off their stored food. They
stay like this until the spring comes and life
begins again.
